Amaya

Coach

What brought you to Fenix?
- I have been working out with FENIX for 7 years now. I love the programing at FENIX, the atmosphere and most of all the camaraderie!

Favorite thing to do at Fenix?
- Besides dance? I LOVE anything Kettlebell!! The Turkish Get Up is by far my most favorite kettlebell movement to do and to teach! I also love Kettlebell Snatches (WAY better than the ‘American’ Swing and Heavy Kettlebell Swings and deadlifts are by far my most favorite Barbell movement.

Favorite thing about coaching?
- I love seeing the members grow in their strength, and when I give them a cue that works and they get that ‘a-ha’ moment and suddenly LOVE a movement or activity they initially hated. I also love the banter members have amongst each other, FENIX is truly like a family!

Tell us about yourself:
- I am born and raised in Elko, a first generation Basque. I’ve been married to 20 years to the most amazing husband and together we have two beautiful, smart and amazing daughters. One is a freshman in college, and the other is a sophomore in high school. We also have a fantastic border doodle named Oliver, who is my walking partner. As a family we enjoy traveling, skiing, golfing and hiking. My hobbies are going to the gym, attending church and hanging out with my family.

Daniela

Coach

What brought you to Fenix?
- Natali--one random day she invited me to the gym she attended, and I never looked back.
Favorite thing to do at Fenix?
- My favorite thing is spending an hour with my people doing what we love. The jokes and laughs never stop. Fitness wise anything with a barbell, but my all time favorite is a Split Jerk.
Favorite thing about coaching?
- The best part about coaching is seeing a member make progress whether it's getting stronger or faster. Whatever it may be, the little personal wins will make you instantly smile.
Tell us about yourself.
- My name is Daniela. I have been with Fenix Training for about 5 years. I am a full time working mom with 3 kids. We are everywhere from the gym to the soccer fields to being at home feeding our animals.
- One thing I want everyone to know but especially to my fellow parents. Take an hour out of your day to do something for you. Build it into your daily schedule. Trust me your kids will not be mad at you. They will appreciate you and will start mocking what you do!
- There is no perfect time to start; you don't have to "get fit" before coming to Fenix Training. Don't be embarrassed to walk through the doors. We are here to support your fitness journey!
